The Tri-Cities Figure
Skating Club (TCFSC) was established in 1989 to promote the sport of
figure skating in our community. The club’s business affairs are conducted by an elected
Board of Directors, which holds monthly meetings. These meetings are open
to all members of the figure skating club. Ice time for club members is
either purchased by TCFSC from the Tri-Cities Coliseum (TCC) directly or
is offered to the club members in a cooperative agreement between TCFSC
and the TCC. In both cases, the skating member is charged an ice fee for
each session to cover these costs.
The Club’s primary
purpose is to further all aspects of the sport of figure skating. Ability
is not a criterion for membership, only the enjoyment of the
sport.
The Tri-Cities Figure
Skating Club is a member of the United States Figure Skating Association
(USFSA), the governing body for figure skating in the United States. The
USFSA was formed in 1921 and is a member of the International Skating
Union (ISU) the body that governs the sport internationally. Today, there
are over 400-member clubs across the country, and every day more skaters
are registering as members of the USFSA.
The Tri-Cities Figure
Skating Club is also a member of the Pacific Northwest Inter-Club
Association, the regional organization whose board meets quarterly to
promote a unified skating community. The Pacific Northwest Inter-Club
Association also conducts an annual summer competition, which all USFSA
registered skaters, as well as registered skaters from other countries may
enter.
